"Night Air" (Co-Produced by Burial)

"Night Air" is impeccably crafted; its soft house groove shifts with the gentle rocking motion of a docked seacraft. It forces ears to reorient on the sounds of nighttime motion: steps, taps, touches. And it gives them stark, pulse-quickening importance, transforming the listener into the lonely midnight victim of fever or desire. Woon's unusual vocals works with feminine seduction, an unapologetic centerpoint for the track's exotic sexuality. His lyrics leave out more than they let in, implying frustration and lust through their tense vulnerability. But it's the way his voice is framed, in a co-production by Burial, that makes what could be grating in other hands sound so powerful.
